Title: Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Post by: Libohunden on September 02, 2017, 12:37:24 PM

Okay, I've seen the recipe for pork belly burnt ends (last sent by thermoworks yesterday) one too many times! 

http://www.savoryreviews.com/2017/06/21/pork-belly-burnt-ends-aka-miym-bacon-cubes/

I'm intrigued. Has anyone ever tried them?  I think I may give them a try this weekend in celebration of Labor Day!

If you have tried them before, let us know your thoughts.  Were they good?  Worth the effort?  Any deviation from the above recipe?

I'm about 3 hours from smoking these bad puppies. After dreaming about them last night, I started wondering if I should put a water pan in my smoker as I usually do for pork/beef?  When I'm making bacon, I don't use a water pan.  Any opinions out there?

Just my 2 cents, but I always use a water pan.

I didn't use the water pan.  However, these turned out great. I will keep tweaking to make them even better. Next time, I'll try a water pan. I did use the oven to finish them off, which I've never done before. Highly recommend you try these. Wasn't sure if I'd like them or not. Will be doing these again!!!

Well done, these look excellent. I am traveling next week, but the week after, I plan to go looking for a belly!

Nicely done Libo! Which recipe did you decide to use?

Bet those would be great dipped in the deep fryer to finish too.  Looks like you added butter?

Bob,

I used this one.  However, they are all fairly similar.

Next time, I may smoke at 225 instead of 250.  But, that may be the only thing I do different.
